According to Spanish online newspaper El Espanol, the chief inspector of the local police department got here across the body of the 39-year-old with 30 stab wounds the following day when he was going for breakfast at a restaurant near the RM-422 highway within the town of Abanilla.
The preliminary autopsy report shows that the explanation for the lady’s death were knife wounds and head injuries, reported the Spanish day by day “La Verdad de Murcia”.
Ong was arrested in Alicante on April 16 and appeared in court three days later.
On Wednesday, the day by day La Verdad reported that a CCTV camera captured footage of a gray Nissan Qashqai entering the parking zone of the Los Collares restaurant on April 9 on the RM-422 highway at 11:28 p.m.
The automotive stopped at an almond grove and remained in the identical place for 18 minutes until 11:46 p.m., then drove away in the identical direction from which it got here. Fang’s body was present in the grove on April 10.
Police traced the Qashqai to a rental company, which identified Ong as the one who rented the automotive on April 3. The automotive was still in his possession on the time of his arrest.
Authorities also obtained footage confirming the route Ong took from his hotel in Alicante to Abanilla on April 9. A search by CNA on Google Maps showed that the Los Collares restaurant is roughly 70 km, or an hour’s drive, from Alicante.
According to La Verdad, when Ong was arrested on the Eurostars Lucentum hotel, the Qashqai was parked in a close-by public parking zone and the keys were found on it.
She added that the suspect bought a vacuum cleaner and the Cieza Magistrates’ Court judge overseeing the case noted that the necessity to clean the rental automotive was “very suspicious.”
On Tuesday, the newspaper reported that the soles of limited-edition Nike shoes value 935 euros ($1,000) that were in his hotel room matched traces found on the crime scene.
The Civil Guard sent a sample of the soil present in the soles for laboratory evaluation to find out whether it matched the soil found on Fang’s body.
They are also trying to check this sample with sandstone present in the Abanilla area.
Court documents obtained by La Verdad also detailed other evidence against Ong.
The judge noted what the suspect was wearing on the evening of April 9, when Fang was last seen, and when he returned several hours later.
CCTV cameras on the Eurostars Lucentum hotel where Ong was staying captured the 43-year-old leaving at around 5.45pm wearing a hoodie and black trousers.
He returned to the hotel at roughly 2:06 a.m. on April 10, wearing jeans and a blue sweater.
Ong, who married in 2012 and owned several corporations in Singapore, was scheduled to satisfy his Ukrainian girlfriend at the identical hotel the following day, La Verdad reports.
According to a different newspaper, Levante El Mercantil Valenciano, Spanish police have already proven that Fang and Ong’s cell phones were together in Abanilla on the day of her death.
She added that she had not experienced sexual violence and that that they had known one another for a few years.
The judge said it was “indisputably” that each Singaporeans were in the identical area at the identical time on the day of the crime, based on data provided by mobile operators in Abanilla.
Ong is currently in custody pending investigation and can remain in prison because of the seriousness of the crime. He can be considered to pose a flight risk.
The judge noted that Ong is a Singaporean with no roots in Spain and has “sufficient economic capability” to go away the country.
Both the prosecutor’s office and the Spanish lawyer Manuel Martinez employed by Fang’s family demanded that Ong’s pre-trial detention be prolonged.
A report by Levante El Mercantil Valenciano indicated that the killing can have had an “economic motive,” adding that Fang was reported to have transferred the cash to an unidentified third party.
Sources also told La Verdad in regards to the “economic motive”, confirming the report by Levante El Mercantil Valenciano, while adding that she participated in a form of investment fund.
However, it can’t be ruled out that the murder was committed for sentimental reasons.
We are only very sad and horrified that she was taken away in such a terrible way
Although their lawyer in Spain said Ong’s trial could take a 12 months or more, Fang’s family hopes to get more answers about her murder.
On Monday, in an interview with CNA, her brother and cousin, who flew to Spain to search for her, spoke in regards to the shock they felt after they learned of her murder.
They also wanted people to know the way “brutal” the killer was, describing severe injuries to her face.
“We are very sad and terrified that she was kidnapped in such a terrible way,” said her brother, Benjamin Fang, 35.
Fang was an architect who worked at a design services firm, keeping her late mother’s flower business alive.
She dreamed of early retirement and moving to Bali along with her cousin to live in a house that she personally designed.
Her body stays in Spain and may only be repatriated after an English death certificate and an embalming certificate are issued. This is predicted to occur this week, they are saying.
Ong’s Instagram account includes photos from raves abroad and photos of him at various gyms in each Spain and Singapore. The last photo he posted was of him in a comic book book store in Alicante.
Fang said he had never heard of Ong and didn’t know what his sister’s relationship was with the suspect.
“It’s still quite ambiguous for us,” he added. “In the meantime, we’ll ask more family and friends in the event that they’ve seen this person, in the event that they know of any connection… if anyone knows anything about this guy.”
Fang said his 67-year-old father just isn’t taking the news well.
“We hope he can get through this as quickly as possible,” Fang added. “We still should take my sister in when she comes home.”
Fang will take over the family flower business and hopes that his father will have the opportunity to proceed working there to maintain his mind occupied.
Some of their relatives have also been unable to operate properly since they heard about Fang.
“They do not know the right way to take care of it… It’s something they still cannot understand,” he said.
